Contorting her sharply drawn characters through her Southern Gothic prism, she produces a panorama unequaled in its vision of the interplays of faith, evil, humor, violence, and compassion that embody American life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese thirty-one chronologically ordered stories include twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime--\u003ci\u003eEverything That Rises Must Converge\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Good Man Is Hard to Find.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaken together, these stories reveal O'Connor's abiding and visionary gift--one that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux. New to this centennial edition is an essay by the critic Hilton Als.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlannery O'Connor\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1925. When she died at the age of thirty-nine, America lost one of its most gifted writers at the height of her powers. O'Connor wrote two novels, \u003ci\u003eWise Blood\u003c\/i\u003e (1952) and \u003ci\u003eThe Violent Bear It Away\u003c\/i\u003e (1960), and two story collections, \u003ci\u003eA Good Man Is Hard to Find\u003c\/i\u003e (1955) and \u003ci\u003eEverything That Rises Must Converge\u003c\/i\u003e (1964). Her \u003ci\u003eComplete Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, published posthumously in 1972, won the National Book Award that year. Her essays were published in \u003ci\u003eMystery and Manners \u003c\/i\u003e(1969) and her letters in \u003ci\u003eThe Habit of Being\u003c\/i\u003e (1979).
